I thought he announced his retirement earlier this year?

[LaybackLenny]

It’s his farewell tour. You know, those tours rock stars do annually.

Mandatory World Ping

[Blue Jays]

Good for him.
He was funny.
Hope it's successful.

[EDINVA]

That is a grueling schedule! He’ll be performing near us in June, and I’d love to go.

[D_Idaho]

Finally some good news!!

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Am I reading that right? His only venue in California is Arcata? I may have to go see Weird Al.

[LegendHasIt]

I like him. Some of his song parodies show more musical talent and a better voice than the originals IMHO.

His movie, UHF, was on one of the obscure satellite channels late, late night / early morning a couple of days ago.

[JennysCool]

Most of the world, certainly, is not worthy.

Just tell the world to Eat It, Eat It, Eat It, Al

TIA

how weird...11 shows in Canada and not one in Greenland.

That is a grueling schedule!

I was gonna say! ... but 6/08 – Lancaster, PA raises possibilities. Gosh, you know you always think of these things, but you never do them. But this is a last chance!

Rock on Al

[mylife]

In a day and age where DJ sarcasm is lost, Al is a breath of fresh air

Saw Alice the other night, he said he was 76 or some such “and would he stop?”

He said WHY? I still got it.

[Salamander]

He’s 67.

if he has to go, he’d prefer to have one of his beheadings go horribly wrong and die onstage.

Talk about “you can’t top that”.

Weird Al inspired me to write dozens of parodies. Unfortunately, I don’t have much musical talent...
